3-Point Hitch Quick-Coupler for 3032E Yes or No

[kcflhrc]

Just inked the deal on a new 2013 3032E, Dealer is asking me if I want a Quick-Coupler for the 3 pt hitch for the implements. I will be getting a brush hog and blade with it.
Thoughts on this accessory for $350 ???

Is that the new name for I-match?

 

[kcflhrc]

Yes, I believe so

 

[murphy1244]

Yes, I believe so

I like it as I'm getting too old to move those heavy things.

You will regret not getting it . Saves a bunch of hassle hooking up .

Thanks guys for the responses. $350 over 5 years with 0% financing isn't going to break me. Decision made, I will get it.

Good call...money well spent. Just make sure any implements you buy in the future are iMatch compatible.

Is I-match the same as a Quick Hitch?

I know the i-match is John Deere specific, looks like this

iMatch is a brand name for the quick hitch John Deere sells.

But will it fit say a Land Pride implement?

I think you'd be smarter to get the extensions Deere offers for their lower arms on the 3pt hitch.

I've often wondered about those lower arm extensions. Are you happy with them? And rough cost compared to imatch or a quick hitch. I have a quick hitch and really like it because I have a hydraulic top link. Cost was about $200 in 2005 or so. I decided I couldn't build it for that price and bought it. I like my quick hitch but find I need to watch for pto shaft interference with the tph all the way down. That and I need to rebuild all my pins and pin holes as they are wore out, are about the only issues I have.

Where can I find details on these extensions? I do not see anything listed for the 3032E under the "Build your own" options

 

[pmsmechanic]

I looked in the parts book online and couldn't find anything for your tractor. Didn't find anything for a 3520 either but if you look up a 4410 under "hitches" and then "draft link telescoping attachment" you'll see what Dapolksjj is talking about.

 

[jgayman]

I did find the option for "Telescoping draft links" under the 3033R build page. But I did not see any such option for the 3032E. I wish they offered those for the 2-series tractors as well.

It should fit about all modern implements. Landpride has their own quick hitch that looks about like the JD imatch. There is actually an ANSI standard on quick hitch dimensions, so most manufacturers are following that standard.
The thing I don't like about the Pat's easy change system that you linked, is that you still have to get off and mess with the top link. With the iMatch and the others you don't have too.

Or if you have the money you can go Delta and not have to worry about incompatibility with your old non quick hitch implements. But like I said, IF you have the money.

I linked? Better check again. I don't see Pats mentioned till you brought it up.

The forum probably linked it for you. Go back and look at your post.
That Delta system would be nice. I wonder if it comes in green
